LOL! really? rear or front struts...all u have to do is cut the spring pearch move it up however many inches you want and re-weld it.
Rolling the fenders lip for anymore than free is crazy! take a hammer n get to work, just take your time n be careful.

LMAO I'll bust toll on any car out there! I'll solder components on a circuit board better than most machines on the planet. But if you ask me to carve a piece of wood, no matter what it was you wanted, you get Tooth Picks. Ask me to Weld something, you get Milton Globs!
I know my limits. Being careful means paying someone with those skills to do it right. No melted Monte for me Thanks!
Then, if you can make the strut shaft longer at the bottom, not only do you not have to roll the fenders but you don't have to use an Elephant to put the springs back in. Nor put spacers or lifts in! And you get your 2" lift to boot! Is Good, Yes?

when u raise the spring perch you are making the strut shaft longer. To take your strut to a shop and have them do that you will be saving BIG money compaired to buying a expensive lift kit. I raise stock spring perches on stock struts 2 inches for 24's and don't have to cut the spring or do any other mods and it rides like stock, but you still look like a fool in the winter with factory tires on the car, lol!

See, you guys are Learning me Stuff! ;-) I don't have any experience with rims bigger than 16s. I wish I had the factory rims. I would look like am idiot in a heartbeat. But they weren't part of my Bequeath. Lol. So moving purch will take of my rear. Honestly I had no clue how to take care of it so finding this place is a blessing for me! O

How much would it cost to raise the plate 3in? Because if could do that, I could get rid of my spacers and then sell my 22's and get 24's. I would still keep my lift though. And my lift was 110. Didn't cost much at all. Lol

for sure i like 64 impalas lol real compton style hehe. i just need a bunch of things like i have my 4s and my lift..i need new drivers side weather stripping (annoying price of 150$ at the dealer) i need to get my hood to latch (previous owner knocked core support kinda inwards and i needa get it pushed back) before i paint..because if i paint it and my hood doesnt latch real nice you know..itll rub off the paint on the front bumper top (by the grill) cuz the hood will sag too low. but im literally extatic to see what itlll look like, im doing also four 8" mids in each front door with new carpet and roof, plus custom seats and of course some sub or subs in the back with some color match painted peices to match my inside..will def make a post of it on this thread when it gets painted at least ! i think it will look good too in burgandy but i had a thought of like maybe doing something else with it instead of one color but i think im just gona keep it one color not two tone it or anything because itll look best..

<!-- google_ad_section_start -->Believe it or not, gigantic 30-inch (76.2-cm) wheels are trending in Florida right now. Just check out this pink Chrysler 300, which looks like the Snoop Dog mobile.

You can expect an 80s music singer to step out of the car at any point.

If you too want to burn rubber in style, you can go for an orange-colored Chevy Caprice coupe. Central Florida also bring us a blood-red Escalade which is probably meant to give “street-cred.”

Owners tend to prefer shiny chrome accessories, and color-coordinate all elements of their car – wheels, exterior, interior.

Many have caught their disco era-reminiscent vehicles, with gigantic rims, on camera, and uploaded the clips on YouTube. Here are three of them, as part of a compilation put together by autoevolution.
